Francis Bacon (1909-1992), “Tryptich [sic] 1986-1987” (1986-1987), oil, pastel, aerosol paint, and dry transfer lettering on three canvases, 147.5 x 198 cm (each). Feel like Bacon’s paint application became increasingly controlled/cautious as he got older.

Get rid of some high-ranking idiots, and others immediately rise up to take their place, which raises the question, is it idiots all the way down?

Lost a like by an artist I admire, but I felt compelled to delete, make a few tiny changes, and repost. Ah well…
